(Testimony of William W. Scoggins)

Mr. Scoggins.
Yes, sir; I was there whenever they took some picture. I couldn't swear these were the ones, but I imagine it was.
Mr. Belin.
These are pictures numbered 7 and 22 in that sequence there. Mr. Scoggins, at the time of November 22, 1963, were there as many cars parked along Patton Street as appear to be in these Exhibits 530 and 531?
Mr. Scoggins.
There wasn't as many on this side here.
Mr. Belin.
You are speaking now when you say "This side here," you are pointing to the east or west side of the street?
Mr. Scoggins.
On the west side.
Mr. Belin.
There weren't as many on the west side?
Mr. Scoggins.
There wasn't as many here as where the pickup truck is setting here.
Mr. Belin.
That would be down below the second or third car south of East 10th, is that right.
Mr. Scoggins.
Yes; on this other side it was taken up solid, and the only place I could found is here is the reason I come up here and parked, because the club is down here at this other end, and I would have taken the first parking place I found because, you know, the closest to the club.
Mr. Dulles.
As far as you know, there were no people in these cars that were parked there?
Mr. Scoggins.
No; there was no one in those cars.
Mr. Belin.
Did you see any people in any cars parked on either side of Patton Street?
Mr. Scoggins.
None.
Mr. Belin.
Mr. Scoggins, handing you Exhibit 162, have you ever seen any jacket on any person in that area of East 10th and Patton that looks familiar to, or looks anything similar to this exhibit, or does this appear to be lighter or darker than the jacket?
Mr. Scoggins.
It appears to be a little lighter, but the sleeves look familiar all right, the type of sleeve. He had on a jacket, the type of sleeve of that, but I thought it was a little darker.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember whether it was a zipper or button jacket or don't you
Mr. Scoggins.
No; I couldn't tell you that.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember what kind of trousers the man was wearing?
Mr. Scoggins.
The best I can remember they was dark, not too dark, and he had on a light shirt.
Mr. Belin.
A light shirt?
Mr. Scoggins.
I wouldn't say it was white, but--
Mr. Belin.
Would the shirt be lighter than Exhibit 150 or about the same color or darker or would Exhibit 150 look anything like the shirt you thought he was wearing, if you know?
Mr. Scoggins.
No, I don't, so I couldn't answer that.
Mr. Belin.
And you say you don't know, or you think this is different than what he was wearing?
Mr. Scoggins.
I couldn't say about the shirt.
Mr. Belin.
All right.
Mr. Scoggins.
I just couldn't.
Mr. Belin.
Mr. Scoggins, when you were in Dallas the other day and they took these pictures, they also tried to take a picture through your car windows toward the place where the car of Officer Tippit was parked, is that correct?
Mr. Scoggins.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember where the car of Officer Tippit was parked on November 22d?
Mr. Scoggins.
Well, it was parked approximately between the first and second houses and across the driveway between the houses, pretty well across the driveway.
Mr. Belin.
Was it parked across a driveway?
Mr. Scoggins.
Yes, sir. As well as I remember, it was.
Mr. Belin.
Handing you what has been marked Exhibit 522, which purports to be a picture taken of a squad car, and I don't know if you can see through the window a little driveway--
